Rooney-Palace Feb2014Wayne Rooney has said that he is eager to refocus on his football, after agreeing a bumbper new five-and-a-half year deal with Manchester United.

Rooney scored the second goal, as United defeated Crystal Palace on Saturday, after he became the best ever paid player at Old Trafford 24 hours earlier.

The England international expressed his delight to finally put all the speculation about his future behind him and get back to what he does best.

“The deal was important. It has more or less been agreed for a month just the fine details needed finishing off. Thankfully it is done,” he told Sky Sports.

“I have let my football do the talking. I am happy and settled.”

The 28-year-old also stated that the Red Devils deserved all three points and served as good preparation for their Champions League clash away to Olympiakos on Tuesday.

“We moved the ball well, maybe could have created more chances. But we controlled the game and knew once we scored the goal we could see the game out. It was a great three points,” he continued.

“Whether I signed a new deal or not, I always give 100 per cent.

“We all stick together and hopefully we can bring some success in the near future.

“We have to go on a good run now, hopefully [qualification in the Champions League] will come and if not we’ll look to next year.”
